Hillary Clinton to receive World Pride award


Sec. Hillary Clinton is receiving the World LGBT Award at the World Pride in London this July.

She is getting this award for her speech on global gay and transgender rights at the United Nations last year.

Here's some info:
The award will be presented at the World Pride Gala Dinner, ‘Dine-with-Pride’, a black-tie fundraiser for Pride London. 

The event is due to be held on Thursday 5 July 2012 at a five-star hotel in London, Mrs Clinton’s presence at the fundraiser is unconfirmed. World Pride will follow on 7 July.

The fundraiser will support Pride London’s newly created ‘Solidarity Fund’. This will support organisations in the Commonwealth that work with and for the LGBT community to tackle homophobia and transphobia. The evening will be attended by politicians, celebrities and leading figures from the LGBT community.
Congrats, Hill-Hill

Deserving.
And, I hope, in 2017, she receives the Oath of Office.

This is a well-deserved honor for one of our allies. She's more than earned this award.
